My Origin & My Motto
I was born in Mansfield, Massachusetts fueled by a family with unrelenting love who supported my wildest dreams in life. I have consistently been a singer/songwriter musician for the past 16 years. I studied for my BA in Studio Art at Stonehill College (North Easton, MA), where I met the love of my life, Kristen. To be honest, I wrote and performed songs about her to get her attention and here I am still doing that to this day!
As a musician, I have had the opportunity to open for music artists like Raining Jane, Graham Colton, The Ballroom Thieves, Humming House and Mal Blum. My music and art tell my story, the crazy life I have led up to this point. My journey encompasses healing myself from “incurable” chronic disease, moving away from those I loved to pursue a calling that was greater than myself, facing the simultaneous birth of my son and premature death of his twin brother. At times I went hungry, felt like all was lost, yet through it all I never stopped creating my music and art.
When so much of my life was stripped away, I found who I truly was meant to be. These lessons in my life gave me perspective, authenticity and wisdom, greater than any book could have taught me. These experiences created me and cultivated the drive that now allows me to teach through my story. I believe we all possess the ability to rise above whatever it is that may prevent us from overcoming our greatest hurdles. I know this to be true… because that was me.
